Accord 0-100km/h Acceleration?
2 Answers
According to official data, the Accord comes with two engine displacements: 1.5T and 2.0T. The 1.5T model achieves a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 7.6-8.2 seconds, while the 2.0T model takes 8.07 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100km/h acceleration time include: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the force available. The greater the torque, the stronger the force propelling the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. The 2022 Accord 260TURBO Comfort Edition delivers a maximum torque of 260 Nm, achieving 0-100km/h in 7.6 seconds. The 2022 Accord Hybrid 2.0L Phantom Night Intelligent Edition offers 175 Nm of torque, with a 0-100km/h time of 8.07 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Accord is equipped with either an E-CVT continuously variable transmission or a CVT continuously variable transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is known as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in quicker acceleration. The 2022 Accord 260TURBO Comfort Edition has a power-to-weight ratio of approximately 131 Hp/T, achieving 0-100km/h in 7.6 seconds. The 2022 Accord 260TURBO Phantom Night Premium Edition has a ratio of about 128 Hp/T, with a 0-100km/h time of 8.07 seconds.
I've driven the Accord several times and feel its 0-100 km/h acceleration is quite impressive, around 7 seconds, depending on the year and engine model. The new Accord equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine and CVT transmission can reach 100 km/h in 7.2 to 7.8 seconds in actual tests, with smooth acceleration and no jerking. For the hybrid version, with battery assistance, it's even smoother but still within the range of 7.6 to 8.2 seconds. It feels great to drive, especially when overtaking on city ring roads, with quick power delivery. However, don't expect it to be as aggressive as a sports car. As a family sedan, this speed is more than sufficient and fuel-efficient too. When I drive it to gatherings, my friends always say it's quite enjoyable. It's best to test drive before buying, as different engine sizes perform slightly differently, with the hybrid version offering more resilient acceleration.
